The Ascension Of Christ
03/06/2025 Duración: 48minToday, we dug into the profound significance of Christ's Ascension, a pivotal moment often overshadowed by Easter and Pentecost. This event marks not just an ending, but a powerful beginning of a new era in God's redemptive plan. As we explore Luke 24 and Acts 1, we see Jesus blessing His disciples while ascending, demonstrating His ongoing intercession for us. The Ascension reminds us that Christ now sits at the right hand of the Father, reigning over all principalities and powers. This truth should fill us with hope and confidence in our daily struggles. Just as the disciples were lovingly rebuked for gazing up at the sky, we too are called to action. Our gaze upon Christ should propel us into Spirit-empowered ministry, transforming every aspect of our lives into worship. Let's embrace this ascension reality, allowing it to shape our perspective and fuel our mission in this world.

Lord, Show Us The Father
27/05/2025 Duración: 01h03minIn our spiritual journey, we're called to embrace the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. This message delves deep into John 14 and 16, revealing how Jesus prepared His disciples for His departure and the coming of the Holy Spirit. We're reminded that the Holy Spirit is not just a distant concept, but a personal guide, leading us into all truth and making Jesus real in our lives. The key takeaway is that a life filled with the Holy Spirit is one of constant awareness, dependence, and surrender to God. We're challenged to examine our lives and ask: Does our life attract or grieve the Holy Spirit? This introspection can lead us to a deeper, more intimate relationship with God, where we find strength to carry our crosses and experience the fruits of the Spirit in our daily lives. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to declutter our hearts, making room for the Holy Spirit to work in and through us, transforming us to be more like Christ.

Restoration of Peter
06/05/2025 Duración: 59minThe profound story of Peter's restoration, a powerful reminder of God's unfailing love and grace. This narrative from John 21 showcases Jesus' tender approach to our failures and His desire for genuine, mature love. We witness how Christ doesn't merely dismiss our shortcomings but pays for them, offering a path to redemption that transforms our very identity. The symbolism of the charcoal fire, echoing Peter's denial, and Jesus' threefold questioning, parallel Peter's earlier betrayal, illustrating how God often recreates scenes of our past failures to bring deep healing. This message challenges us to recognize the restoration moments in our own lives, urging us to turn towards Jesus in our failures rather than retreating to our comfort zones. It's a call to move beyond superficial faith to a love that's willing to sacrifice everything for Christ.

This narrative challenges us to examine our own faith and reminds us of the profound blessing Jesus pronounces on those who believe without seeing. The sermon beautifully illustrates how Jesus meets us in our doubts, offering peace and inviting us to draw near. We're encouraged to see that even in our moments of uncertainty, Christ responds with gentleness and love, stooping down to our level to feed us spiritually. The imagery of the torn temple veil serves as a poignant symbol of our newfound access to God's presence, reminding us that we are now His living temples. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we can live lives worthy of this high calling, allowing God's peace and gladness to permeate our beings and transform our daily walk with Him.

Palm Sunday ( A Quiet Act of Great Love)
15/04/2025 Duración: 45minPalm Sunday, exploring the profound symbolism of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. This story, found in Matthew 21, isn't just a historical account—it's a mirror for our own spiritual journeys. As we witness Jesus riding on a donkey, we're reminded of the humility that characterizes God's kingdom. This humble King, welcomed with shouts of 'Hosanna,' challenges us to examine our own hearts. Are we truly ready to receive Him, not just in moments of celebration, but in the everyday moments of our lives? The image of Jesus overturning tables in the temple serves as a powerful metaphor for the transformation He seeks in our lives. What tables need to be overturned in our hearts? What idols need to be driven out? This Palm Sunday narrative invites us to embrace a faith that goes beyond superficial praise, encouraging us to allow Christ to enter the Jerusalem of our hearts and bring true, lasting change.

Angel of the Lord
01/04/2025 Duración: 41minIn this powerful exploration of Judges 13, we delve into the miraculous birth of Samson and the profound lessons it holds for our spiritual lives. The angel of the Lord's appearance to Manoah and his wife reminds us that God often moves in unexpected ways, even when we're not actively seeking Him. This narrative challenges us to remain open to divine intervention and to recognize the 'wonderful' nature of God's name and character. As we reflect on Samson's calling from the womb, we're invited to consider how the Holy Spirit might be stirring in our own lives, even from our earliest moments. The story also prompts us to examine the tension between God's anointing and our personal choices, as seen in Samson's later struggles. How can we, like Manoah and his wife, cultivate a posture of worship and surrender when God reveals Himself in our lives? This message encourages us to embrace both the touch of God that sets us free and the discipleship that teaches us to live in that freedom.

We see how easy it is to fall into idolatry and compromise when we lose focus on our true purpose. The message challenges us to consider: Are we building memorials to our own accomplishments, or are we consistently giving glory to God? It encourages us to be vigilant against the 'little foxes' that can spoil our spiritual fruit, reminding us that maintaining our faith is an ongoing process.
